To all whom it may concern;-

Be it known that I, EDWIN F. FRnNoH a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improved Table for Garment- Pressing, of which the following is a specification. L

This invention relat to garment pressing machines and particularly to the table thereof, and the object of the invention is to provide for sliding the table in or out, and also enable the table to be swiveled.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a garment pressing machine constructed with my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the machine. Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the table and projecting slide. Fig. 4 is an enlarged sec-- tion on line ac -m Fig. 3. 1 designates the table of the machin which is preferably oval in contour, as

shown in Fig. 3. This table is supported by a swivel which consists in the present embodiment of an upper member 2 having a boss 3 which is revolubly mounted in a lower member 4. A screw 5 passes through a disk 6 and into the upper member 2 and secures the two members of the swivel together, but

allowing the upper member 2 to rotate with respect to the lower member. The swivel may be tightened by the screw 5, so that the table 17 will remain stationary in any position into which it is turned in order to enable the operator to place the work properly thereon. The lower member 4 is rigidly mounted in a slide Twhieh is mounted in ways 8 formed in a board 9 which is secured to another board 10, the board 10 acting to support the slide 7. The boards 9 and 10 constitute the upper portion of a vertically movable carriage which is operated by a yoke 11 connected toa foot lever 12 which is ivoted at 13.

The yo e 11 is slidably supported by the frame of the machine, 14. The slide 7 projects rearwardly beyond the table 1, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, thereby enabling the table to be pulled forward from its position shown in Fig. 2, or moved rearwardly to the desired position, while the swivel permits the table to be readily swung to any desired angle.

The frame 14 has a pair of overhanging arms 15 which carry a pressing iron 16.

17 is a pressing board which rests upon the table 1 underneath the pressing iron 16.

What I claim is:

In a garment pressing machine, a carriage having a base member and a top member mounted on the base member, the top member being formed with a slot extending en tirely therethrough providing ways, a slide movable between and guided by the walls of said slot, the slide being supported by the base member, a table mounted upon-the top member, the slide being formed with an opening extending entirely therethrough, a lower swivel member positioned within said last mentioned opening, the o ening being countersunk around its lower end, and the swivel member having a flange projecting into the countersunk portion, the table being formed with an opening, an upper swivel member extending through said opening and having a boss formed on its lower side, the lower swivel member being provided with an opening to accommodate said boss, and means securing the swivel members to one another, the opening in the slide being countersunk around its upper end, and the upper swivel member being provided with a flange projecting into said last mentioned countersunk portion.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles, California, this 2nd day of October 1913.
